Good morning Birders, Another cool sunny morning greeted birders at the Park. The wind was light out of the SE which prompted many species to move off the Tip. Include were many BALTIMORE and ORCHARD ORIOLES, blackbirds, and others including BOBOLINK, SCARLET TANAGER, INDIGO BUNTING, KINGBIRD, RED-HEADED WOODPECKER and a few Warblers. In the Woodland Nature Trail there were a number interesting species such as HOODED WARBLER, YELLOW-THROATED and WHITE-EYED VIREO, PROTHONOTARY WARBLER, and BLUE-WINGED WARBLER. YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT was noted just north of the parking area beside the Festival tent along the main road for a short period. At the north end of Tilden Woods someone saw a YELLOW-THROATED VIREO. The PILEATED WOODPECKER seen at the Tip yesterday was seen again at White Pine. We have not had any Update from Hillman.
